Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 7-10 June 2010
Call for Participation
====================================================================
The DisCoTec series of federated conferences is one of the major
events sponsored by the International Federation for Information
processing (IFIP). The main conferences are:

COORDINATION
12th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages
http://discotec.project.cwi.nl/COORDINATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------
* Scope *
Coordination 2010 seeks high-quality papers on programming languages
and coordination models, middleware, services, and algorithms that
separate behavior from interaction, therefore increasing modularity,
simplifying reasoning, and ultimately enhancing software
development. The conference focuses on the design and implementation
of models that allow compositional construction of large-scale
concurrent and distributed systems, including both practical and
foundational models, run-time systems, and related verification and
analysis techniques.
Past incarnations of Coordination have emphasized foundations.
However, given the increasing importance of concurrency in almost
every software domain, the organizers of Coordination 2010 are keen
to provide a strong forum for high-quality papers that address
practical aspects of concurrent programming models; for example,
application of concurrency to novel domains, comparisons of
alternative programming models on important problems, or
domain-specific languages.

DAIS
10th IFIP International Conference on
Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems
http://discotec.project.cwi.nl/DAIS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
* Scope *
The DAIS conference series addresses all aspects of distributed
applications, including their design, implementation and operation,
the supporting middleware, appropriate software engineering
methodologies and tools, as well as experimental studies and
practice reports. This time we welcome in particular contributions
on architectures, models, technologies and platforms for large scale
and complex distributed applications and services that are related
to the latest trends towards bridging the physical/virtual worlds
based on flexible and versatile service architectures and platforms.
* Program Committee Chairs *
Frank Eliassen University of Oslo, Norway
Ruediger Kapitza University of Erlangen, Germany

FMOODS & FORTE
12th IFIP International Conference on
Formal Methods for Open Object-based Distributed Systems
30th IFIP International Conference on
FORmal TEchniques for Networked and Distributed Systems
http://discotec.project.cwi.nl/FmoodsForte
--------------------------------------------------------------------
* Scope *
The joined conference FMOODS & FORTE is a forum for fundamental
research on theory and applications of distributed systems. The
conference solicits original contributions that advance the science
and technologies for distributed systems, in particular
in the areas of:
* component- and model-based design
* object technology, modularity, software adaptation
* service-oriented, ubiquitous, pervasive, grid and mobile
computing
* software quality, reliability and security
The conference encourages contributions that combine theory and
practice, address problems from the development of distributed
systems, and present novel solutions with formal methods and
theoretical foundations. FMOODS & FORTE covers distributed computing
models and formal specification, testing and verification methods.
The application domains include all kinds of application-level
distributed systems, telecommunication services, Internet, embedded
and real time systems, as well as networking and communication
security and reliability.
